Darkstar zed

"Zed has evolved from just manipulating shadows...he now controls the darkness of space itself." This is my skin concept for darkstar zed. It probably be the same price as Darkstar thresh because of the unique particles and recall animation.

Partical idea: zed shurikens will now levitate sightly off his back and the blades will slowly rotate around the black hole in the center.

Zed shadows will be black and you will be able to see stars and "space stuff" inside of them.

Zed recalls animation will have him throw the shuriken off his back in front of him where it will stand vertically and will stop and expand to a human sized hole as the blades around it began to spin faster then you will see a few ghostly arms reach out of the black hole for zed (kind of in an worship welcoming "we missed you" way) as zed walks into the black hole, finishing the recall animation.

This is my first skin concept on this account I'd really appreciate some feedback and there are more pictures on my deviantart showing the other poses more closely for you to see. Thank you.

But in all seriousness, I legitimately love this concept. I'd been thinking about how dope a space-god (or space-demon, in this case) Zed would be, and how the particles, the kit, and the character of Zed himself would fit together. I mean, they made a Dark Star Kha'Zix, which no one expected, and yet they've (from what I've seen) nailed the Dark Star aesthetic perfectly whilst still keeping it Kha'Zix. And it seems like you did the same here (although the Shuriken seems too similar to the Classic Zed Shuriken, but that's just my opinion). He gives off this very menacing, supernatural feel, which is what Zed was originally designed to give off, but on steroids. In fact, looking at the design of his head and comparing it to all the other Dark Star heads, I get this feeling of cosmic dread being emitted from the image. Which really does match the Dark Star style, what with all the Dark Stars being very similar to the Great Old Ones of H.P. Lovecraft's stories.

Rito seriously needs to see this. Unfortunately, if they do see this and decide to make it, I doubt he'd get it skin very soon. After all, there are a shit tonna champs they still have to work on skins for, and my boy JUST got a Championship Zed one. Though we are seeing an SKT Jhin after Blood Moon... hm... But I'd love seeing this as a Legendary Skin, and I'd buy it day one of release. Overall, I r8 8/8 m8.

Really looking forward to seeing the other versions on your DeviantArt page.

A lot of potential for this. It would be sick!
